How many cool DVD releases
are coming out over the coming months? Answer - quite a few, not least this little
puppy from Marvel, THE ULTIMATE AVENGERS MOVIE.
In
1945, Humanity was on the brink of annihilation as sinister forces pushed to seize
control of the free world, and only one man rose up to stop them. When a nuclear
missile was fired at the Capitol, CAPTAIN AMERICA™ managed to detonate it
in the upper atmosphere, but in the process he sacrificed himself, falling miles
into the icy depths of the North Atlantic, where he remained lost for over sixty
years. Now, with the world facing the very same evil, Captain America must rise
once again as the last hope for survival, and lead a strong-willed team of today’s
superheroes:
IRON
MAN™, the billionaire bachelor used to doing things his own way.
THE HULK™, the destructive force Bruce Banner hopes to turn into a useful
team member .
THOR™,
a hero who has responsibilities to both the world of man and the world of gods.
WASP™, a petite powerhouse who sees the team as a fresh start for her and
her husband.
GIANT
MAN™, sixty feet tall with an equally large chip on his shoulder.
CAPTAIN AMERICA, a star-spangled idealist resurrected from a 60 year deep-freeze
because this team needs a super-soldier to lead them.
Individually,
they are superheroes. United, they are The Avengers. Ultimate Avengers: The Movie
is the extraordinary story of six very independent heroes who must – like
it or not – fight as one to save the world. Little did they know that their
biggest threat would emerge from within their very own ranks – The Incredible
Hulk!
The
DVD is released with some thrilling bonus stuff (listed below) by Lionsgate Home
Entertainment and Marvel, and hits region one territories on February 21st.
